Listen "122. When Motherhood Feels Like Too Much AND Not Enough"
Episode Synopsis
I explore the emotional complexity that motherhood brings in the context of post-Mother’s-Day – and how we can feel both deep love and deep exhaustion, often in the same breath.
I speak to the invisible labour mothers carry, the craving to be seen, and the cultural expectations that shape how we think we “should” feel.
You'll hear some of my own reflections about ambivalence, overwhelm, tenderness, identity, and what it means to take up space as a mother.
